Sony Mobiles are , and they have very pathetic customer service in India.
Z1, Z2, Z3 have no gorilla gl, don't know about this device. (Even China bed 5k mobiles have it).
I had a very bad experience with Z3. Even a light bump with someone can crack the gl and believe me it cost me 15k for the screen nearly 30% of the mobile cost. (also seen lots of people with crack in back gl which cost them 4K for the plain normal gl)
As service center are pathetic, you will find long queue of people cursing this company.
I have never seen a repeat customer for Sony mobile.
So I would suggest to buy Sony mobiles only if you are living in wonderland where you have cushions everywhere.
If you still have any doubt then please visit a service center, talk to few peoples over there...
All the best
